As a type of response token that involves emotional displays, interjections have received a substantial amount of scholarly interest in linguistics. Yet a paucity of research focuses on how emotion is displayed via interjections in interactions in situ. This article focuses on how surprise and other associated emotions are accomplished via  wow  in Mum’s turn when interacting with the child. Using Conversation Analysis and prosody analysis, we show three major functions of  wow  in mothers’ turns: showing/inviting alignment and affiliation, indicating high and low engagement, and making compliments. Importantly, we argue that although affiliation-invitation/display is a generic function of  wow , it could be designed as part and parcel of other actions, indicating that something more is going on here. Data are in English.
